Today's Project.

Title Options: Sea Change Roadmap. Or, We've come a long way.

I've been working on my portrait expectations, my own, for a while. I am ready to add detail to the canvas to end up with this image! I have the pose and the clothing, but everything is flexible. It is 4 of my acrylic and oil works digitally mixed, and a sketch I just can't find right now.

Any thoughts, suggestion, observations are always welcome.

It should make a fabulous painting.

 

[Artyczar]

Wow! Beautiful work!!!!

 

[JStarr]

I'm going to sit back and watch- I've not a clue how you can do this on a canvas.

 

[Jo Castillo]

I like this. Great textures and values.

 

[Triduana]

Super, I like this portrait already! Looking forward to seeing where you go from here.

 

[Terri]

These are all beautiful, Jennie! Great variety of palettes and shapes.

I'm especially fond of the first one. Can't wait to see how you work these through!

 

[Donna T]

Wow, I can't wait to see what you do with this! The colors and light on that portrait are so beautiful!

 

[JennieJo]

It should make a fabulous painting.

Ooh, I hope so.

Stage 1, acrylic on board, with some pastel thought marks.. Think I have the pose, almost. The face is close to the model.

I'm very intrigued by this colorful figure. Can't wait to see where this takes you, Jennie!

Thanks Terri. This is Robert! I have done 4 in the last month, they are all so different.

 

[Artyczar]

This is my favorite piece of yours ever!!!

This is my favorite piece of yours ever!!!

Wow! Thankyou. I am really trying to go deeper into stroke options, shadows .... All the essentials so this has been much more a strategically planned image. Maybe a way forward.

I'm watching it too. Definately not procrastinating because I'm scared! Will post once next layer is done.

Yeah- I don't do that either....

All the time- I do it all the time. Haven't touched what's on the easel in over a week; I have a great excuse, but that's what it is, an excuse.

Go at your own pace- don't force it until it's force or it's dead.

Just re read all you wonderful comments. They do make a difference. Still looking at partially completed work.
